Kanye West on Jimmy Kimmel: "I'm a creative genius, there's no other way to word it"

A rapprochement, and a new pair of leather jogging shorts for North.

Kanye West went on Late Night with Jimmy Kimmel last night to heal the gaping wound that was opened when the two began feuding in public last week after West was mocked in a Kimmel skit.

They both claimed that the row was not a publicity stunt. "I don't do publicity stunts, period," West said. He also  reminded the world that he's a "creative genius" and talked about how he's inspired by Steve Jobs, Michelangelo and Jesus. In the picture to the left, Kimmel gives West a gift of a pair of leather jogging pants for his daughter North.

The conversation was sometimes interesting on the subject of celebrity, and most times not. The most amusing part of the show, by far, was the re-airing of a 2011 segment in which pop classical superstar Josh Groban sat at the piano and sang a series of Kanye's tweets (Includes 752 songs on 48 CDs!"), including "Fur pillows are actually hard to sleep on," "I make awesome decisions in bike stores" and "Classical music is tight yo." Even Kanye thought it was funny.

That segment, labeled Part 4, is the top clip below. Scroll down further if you want to get into the meat of the interview.
